Weep No More
Canton Junction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wring your hands in the dead of night
When the moon is black and the stars don't shine
Pace the floor when the wind blows cold
You feel it piercing your weary soul
Go on and cry your tears
But when the morning sun appears

Don't weep no more
Gabriel's standing up to sound his horn
Don't weep no more
I see the coming of the Lord

Like a thief at night, the Lord will come
And He'll set right all the wrong been done
The lonely widow, the orphaned child
Will find their rest in a little while
More than blessed are the weak
For you will get what you seek

Don't weep no more
Gabriel's standing up to sound his horn
Don't weep no more
I see the coming of the Lord

On a white horse
With a sharp sword
I see the coming of the Lord
Where the Lion's roar
Opened heaven's door
I see the coming of the Lord

Don't weep no more
Cause Gabriel's standing up to sound his horn
Don't weep no more
I see the coming of the Lord

Like a thief at night, the Lord will come
And He'll set right all the wrong been done

I said I see the coming of the Lord
The lonely widow, the orphaned child
Will find their rest in a little while

I see the coming of the Lord




I see the coming of the Lord.
I see the coming of the Lord.

on God's Got A Better Plan

You built your life on good intentions
Succeeded more than time to mention
Then you watched your whole world fall apart
He’s not another dream enhancer
God is your one and only answer
The reason He won’t finish what you start

God’s got a better plan
He’s so much wiser than the ways of man
Put it all in His able hands – He knows what to do
He’s qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you’ve done all you can
God’s got a better plan

Standing there on the field of battle
You can hear the giant’s saber rattle
Never do what all those doubters say
Take the armor off and never choose it
You just need a stone and faith to use it
You won’t be the one who falls today

God’s got a better plan
He’s so much wiser than the ways of man
Put it all in His able hands – He knows what to do
He’s qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you’ve done all you can
God’s got a better plan
Avoid that self-inflicted consequence
Even when it seems that it defies all common sense

God’s got a better plan
He’s so much wiser than the ways of man
Put it all in His able hands – He knows what to do
He’s qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you’ve done all you can
God’s got a better plan
Qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you;ve done all you can
God’s got a better plan
God’s got a better plan
